Andrew John Maxton Cruickshank (25 December 1907 – 29 April 1988[1][2]) was a Scottish actor, most famous for his portrayal of Dr Cameron in the long-running UK BBC television series Dr. Finlay's Casebook, which ran for 191 episodes from 1962 until 1971.

He returned to Broadway in 1951 until 1952, as the Earl of Warwick in George Bernard Shaw's play Saint Joan, with Uta Hagen in the lead role.

[6] He appeared in many television plays and series, amongst them A. J. Cronin's Dr. Finlay's Casebook, containing his most famous characterisation, Doctor Angus Cameron, a crusty but erudite senior partner in the rural general practice run in Tannochbrae, with the help of the much younger Doctor Alan Finlay (Bill Simpson) and "stiff Presbyterian" housekeeper Janet (Barbara Mullen).

[9] In August 1985, Cruickshank presented The Auld Alliance: A Personal View as part of the Saltire Society's Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme.

[4] His last appearance of any kind was at the age of 80, in the first episode ("Kicks")[11] of series two of the ITV television production, King and Castle,[12] which starred Nigel Planer and Derek Martin as partners in a debt collection agency, and in which Cruickshank played "Mr Hodinett".
